Can someone explain me what a fiducial aid is? And how is it used?
An additional diagram would be a big help

Dont listen to the guy above (n)

If i'm right you must be talking about "Using the aid of a Fudicial marker"
This is an an object placed at the mean (middle) position of an oscillating pendulum to ensure that we start and stop the stopwatch at the right time.

In the diagram we are using a pencil as a fudicial marker.

You can't boss me! I got an A* in Physics. And besides both of my teachers taught the same thing, so it can't possibly be wrong.
